    Hello,

    Here is a flower seen in Namibia during the rainy season, at Namutoni camp in Etosha national park
    it's trumpet-shaped and the plant grows quite high (1 meter for the one I have seen)
    Thank you for your help in this ID
    Cheers

    Thank you Tony,

    So it's an invasive plant in Namibia.
    I hesitate now between Cryptostegia grandiflora and madagascariensis which look to me very similar
